• Case #20131708608

• Case #20151702154
• Case #20151724589

Correct - they're all court cases in Cook County. Chancery and Civil divisions.

What else do they have in common? 

• they all involve a single individual owing money to assorted entities - banks, credit unions, credit card companies, a university, etc

So, someone with:

• twenty-two separate cases 
• in a single county court system regarding financial issues

....wouldn't really be someone that should be allowed to have unfettered and unsupervised use of a credit card belonging to a labor organization with tens of millions of dollars in membership dues, right? 

Oversight should be a requirement and an obligation to ensure nothing shady is going on, right? This would be the job of the Board of Directors, correct?

Or is there going to be a twenty-third case being filed in Cook County one day soon?
